1 Saturday, April 16, 2011 BCYA Icebreaker 4th out of 7 Wind W 15-25 kt made for good sail. Reach the whole way. The Olson twins caught us, but we beat one of them!
2 Tuesday, April 19, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 6th out of 8 Stayed left in lift, but should have gone to right for more breeze. Light air until last ¼ mile leg when we saw 22 kt.
3 Tuesday, April 26, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 4th out of 9 Vigorous sailing, wind SSE 15-25 kt with higher gusts. Reefed main and genoa but flew the spinnaker successfully.
4 Tuesday, May 3, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 6th out of 9 Quite windy pre-race, but settled down to 8-18 kt. Third after first spin run, but lost three places on next leg by not going left!
5 Tuesday, May 10, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 9th out of 9 Light air, we couldn't get moving very fast.
6 Tuesday, May 17, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 8th out of 9 Vigorous and variable wind NE 10-22 kt but one of those nights when everything went wrong. Too many mistakes and bad decisions.
7 Tuesday, May 24, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 5th out of 9 Light W-WSW 5-8 kt. We sailed well, first to windward mark and just slipping to third at spinnaker dowse. Photo-finish with Artemis for third but PHRF pushed us down to fifth.
8 Tuesday, May 31, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 7th out of 9 Light SSE 4-8 kt. Sailed with cruising main (9 oz Dacron) and lots of extras on board. Were in cruising frame of mind!
Ocean time! Infrared cruised to Newport, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, and Cutty Hunk, June 4 - 24.

9 Tuesday, June 28, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 8th out of 9 Just back from cruise to Newport and vicinity. Boat, crew slow.
10 Tuesday, July 5, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 8th out of 9 We did get racing main installed, but still slow. Bottom to be cleaned this Friday.
11 Saturday, July 9, 2011 BCYA Race To Baltimore DNF Wind died, but no one else in the PHRF B fleet finished either!
12 Tuesday, July 12, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 5th out of 11 W 10-15 kt made for great sailing. We annoyed Gael Force at the start, but otherwise sailed much better!
13 Tuesday, July 19, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing Race Cancelled! Not enough wind to start a race!
14 Tuesday, July 26, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 5th out of 11 Good start & initial boat speed, but bad wind shift on second leg destroyed our chances (see cartoon above).
15 Tuesday, August 2, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 9th out of 10 Horrible start in very light air. Wind picked up but we were too far gone to finish well. We fouled Summer White at finish, but they didn't notice.
16 Tuesday, August 9, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 9th out of 10 Only five on board and old guy on foredeck kept making mistakes...not a recipe for success!
17 Tuesday, August 16, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 10th out of 10 It was a nightmare.
18 Tuesday, August 23, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 9th out of 10 How we avoided DFL was a miracle!
(SEE VIDEO!)
19 Tuesday, August 30, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 7th out of 10 Light air...'nuf said.
20 Tuesday, September 6, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 5th out of 10 Despite the threat of rain, it was a great night for sailing! A bad start and an awful douse kept us out of the money, but otherwise it was fun.
21 Saturday, September 10, 2011 NPSA Harry Young Cup 3rd out of 8 Light air. Good start, but that guy wielding the shovel shifted the breeze immediately. Clawed our way back into third.
22 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 6th out of 10 A decent night for us. Crossed finish 2 sec ahead of Artemis after a two leg duel.
23 Tuesday, September 20, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 8th out of 10 Light air. We sailed without any errors, but the boat continues to mystify with it's slowness.
24 Tuesday, September 27, 2011 Tuesday Night Racing 8th out of 10 Still slow.
25 Sunday, October 2, 2011 BCYA Fall Series 4th out of 4 Cloudy & chilly, but W 9-12 kt made for good sailing. Close race. Greg, Harry & Bob flew poled spin.
26 Sunday, October 9, 2011 BCYA Fall Series 1st out of 2 Sunny, warm light air. Shortened course. Too nice a day for most racers?
27 Saturday, October 15, 2011 USS Constellation Cup 5th out of 12 Sunny and mild, W 20-30 kt, very fast sail. A drag race.
28 Sunday, October 16, 2011 BCYA Fall Series 2nd out of 5 Sunny, SSW 12-16kt, a great sail. Greg & Bob covered Artemis II and Gael Force. Boat speed much better!
29 Saturday, October 22, 2011 BCYA Harbor Cup 8th out of 10 in PHRF B
21th out of 33 in combined fleet.
Sun then clouds, WNW 5-10 kt. Good start, racing well until our side of course went light and other side didn't.
30 Sunday, October 23, 2011 BCYA Fall Series 2nd out of 3

Light air, short course.
31 Sunday, October 30, 2011 BCYA Fall Series 1st out of 2 Match race with Jubilee IV and, amazingly, we stayed ahead!
32 Sunday, November 6, 2011 BCYA Fall Series 5th out of 5 Harry and Bob weren't very slick with that spinnaker!
33 Sunday, November 13, 2011 BCYA Fall Series 5th out of 5 Harry, Bob, Greg and Mike weren't very slick with that spinnaker!
